Cut-Price Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names

There are 2 things you require so as to launch a website. The first one is a domain name that will display your online portal when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is fundamentally the disk space on a server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you require them both in order to have an operational online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

We offer more than 70 tlds

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it is made of two entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular interval of time between one and 10 yrs. They may include other requirements about the registrant.

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting plan where you have to include it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the web site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a particular company and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosting vendors offer both services and it is more convenient to administer everything from one and the same web hosting CP user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name servers. Each hosting vendor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.hostingptc.com and ns2.hostingptc.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain offers you the opportunity to alter the NS records and point the domain to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Need of Stable web hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting supplier and is added to their web servers, you will receive several web services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the web server will now be available online when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up electronic mail accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being permitted to set up mail accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental options that come with a website hosting package. If you own a business online portal – it will identify your business before your website visitors or clients. This is the reason why you require a reliable web hosting provider that will deliver a fast and stable web hosting solution.
